Weather
Rome, Italy
Rome is running a bright sun-on-marble motif today: clear early around 21C, then mostly sunny and hot, peaking near 34C with rain risk very low apart from a small late-afternoon blip. For the Vatican Museums and St Peter's, make it a water, sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, and shade-break day; covered shoulders/light breathable layers will help with church entry without adding much heat.
